Penn’s Amazing Achievements
The ADVANCE team toured the wonderful laboratories at University of Pennsylvania/Penn Medicine last week. I wanted to help spread the word of some of their significant achievements.
For example, a new treatment for leukemia, called CART 19, has proven effective in several terminally ill patients. Their findings appeared recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, but you also could learn more on the treatment and view a link to video at:
